The future of Windows 7 does look clear, but I wanna bet that the pictures will completely change 10 times or so before they release it, just like Vista did. Back in 2002, it looked a lot like XP with a white start menu.

I can’t run Windows Vista and they are coming almost with the next operating system.

If these screenshots are real then I think they have a good successor!

Cool I want multi-touch support. Like HP’s touchsmart PC it is a cool idea. But the only draw back is now i have to buy my HD PC monitor again. They should just make a multi-touch screen overlay.

It looks promising, I guess we will see in 2009 what’s it’s really like

You people get worked up too soon.  Vista is still relatively new, I can’t see Windows 7 coming out until 2010, that’s if there’s no delays.

As for the screenshots, I sure hope I can disable those stupid widgets at the bottom.  That start bar is taking up far too much screen real estate.

If Windows 7 ends up being indeed like these screenshots, I will be a very happy person

However, experience tells me that the UI will be simplified and it will end up as just another rehashed aero (which was a rehashed luna with transparency…)

I haven’t even seen a VISTA live. I since there is only 2 year to go for this NEW ms OS, people who have not yet upgraded from XP will be confused to choose between Vista and Windows 7

@ Linu: I’m sure there’s still people using 98 right now, they’ve got Vista and XP to choose from if they were to upgrade.  And Vista was released 5 years after XP, so it makes sense that a new OS would be coming in about 3 year’s time.

The more things change, the more they look like OS X. Microsoft “borrows” from the best.
And they should.

I like it so far, let’s hope Microsoft did a great job on Window’s 7.
